Dr Derek Looks Forward to Brazil Embassy Meeting

10 January 2008

Dr Derek Indoe, the Bath parishioner leading a group of local Catholics at a high-level meeting with Brazilian Embassy, looks ahead to his upcoming London visit.  cliftondiocese.com brings you a podcast featuring Dr Indoe.

The small group of parishioners are visiting Secretary Luis Filipe Pereira de Carvalho, Head of Human Rights Sector to express concerns about the violent threats and intimidation to which land settlers known to Father Leo Dolan have been subjected.

Father Leo Dolan is a priest of the Clifton Diocese who served as Parish Priest in Bath and Stroud.  His ministry has been in Brazil for the past 35 years.

Dr Indoe, who has lived and worked in Brazil, gives great insights into the life of fellow Catholics in Brazil in the podcast. 

Our podcast is available in the multimedia panel on the right. 

If you want to find out more and support Father Leo, fellow Catholics in Brazil, and the group of parishioners here in the West of England which has secured this important meeting - you can email the special new address padreleo@cliftondiocese.com.

You can also read about the embassy meeting in this Sunday’s (11 January) edition of ‘The Universe’ which is available in most parishes. 

Dr Indoe has also been interviewed by Vatican Radio - so listen to the English language programme next week.
